One of the common suggestions in the New Year Templatic survey was a one page WordPress theme. For all of you that suggested it, thank you and, the wait time is over!

Opening blog pages is still possible and starting a blog is as easy as creating a category called “Blog” and adding some posts to it. Showcasing blog posts on the homepage is done using the Popular Posts widget. That widget allows you to showcase posts from any taxonomy in a grid-like manner.
